I realize there have been lots of threads on this..but this is what needs to happen this week for us to get in to the playoffs.

1. Denver needs to lose to Philly..pretty much a give in.
2. Indy needs to beat the Jets.
3. Miami needs to beat Houston. If Miami beats Houston and we beat Miami week 17, we would own the tiebreaker. If Houston wins, I believe they would need to lose week 17, leaving the possibility out of our hands.
4. Jacksonville needs to lose to NE.
5. We need to beat the Ravens, of course.

Playoffs are not completely out of sight..a few things just need to go our way. Hope they do..
GO STEELERS :cope:

P.S. here's a more detailed list of the playoff scanarios for the Steelers. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_658881.html

They need a lot of things to happen, but none of those things are totally unreasonable. It's not like we need the Lions to beat the Colts or anything..

All of the scenarios in the world will not have anything to do with it if this team does not find some resolve , and win the remaining games on our schedule .
I do not think the season is over yet . Win is all there is left . That is where the hope lies . May the chips fall where they will anyway . Nail-biter , steelers by 2.

Still very doable, but I'm a little worried about number 4. I wonder how all out the Pats will play for the 3rd seed. I actually think there's a better chance the Ravens lose AT Oakland rather than Houston losing at home against a New England team with little to play for.

^^ yeah, that's pretty much it. Houston losing to New England is a little more realistic than Baltimore losing to Oakland, so I'm pulling for that.

The raiders show up some weeks, but not every week

lol...no we didn't, that's why we're discussing what NEEDS to happen for us to make the playoffs instead of us simply owning the division like we should've against a very weak Baltimore and Cincinnati

steelersbabex25

Neither Cincinnati nor Baltimore are very weak, that's why Cincinnati is leading the division.

The pats are in the playoffs, I think a lot of it will come down too how much, if any the Pats can improve their positioning in the post season by winning next week. If they can't do any better they make sit some people.

If you genuinely believe that Cincinnati is not a weak team simply because they lead the division then you just don't know football.

No, I never said Cincinnati is a good team because they're leading the division. I said they're leading the division because they're a good team. You don't sweep teams like the Ravens and Steelers if you're a weak team.

Unless the Steelers and Ravens absolutely blow.

Using the Steelers as a measuring stick to say that Cincinnati is a good team is the equivalent of saying that the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns are all solid teams.

The Ravens and Steelers don't "absolutely blow". The reason you can't say that the Cheifs, Raiders, and Browns are good teams because they beat the Steelers, is because the Steelers are a very special kind of team. They're a kind of team that lets horrible teams beat them because they play to their opponents in a way thats unimaginable. Most teams in the NFL aren't like that.

You are incorrect. Steelers do not absolutely blow, they play to the level of there opponent, they are a decent team that is very inconsistent.
